TB8 B&B Lecture 1; Brain systems for memory 0.0 / 5 ? PsychologyTB8 B&BUniversityNone Created by: mint75Created on: 24-04-16 17:42 What was the extent of patirnt HM's brain damage? Bilateral anteriorhippocampus and surrounding cortex, amygdala. Some posterior hippocampus remains. 1 of 20 Did patient HM show evidence of both anterograde and retrograde amnesia? Yes, severe anterograde and some retrograde 2 of 20 What does patient HMs brain damage coupled with his memory loss suggest about hippocampal function? Patient HMs severe anterograde and slight retrograde damage suggest the hippocampus is crucial for new learning but not for storing old memories 3 of 20 What is the function of the fornix? The major output of the hippocampus 4 of 20 What acts as a gateway from the fornix to the thalamus? Mamillary bodies 5 of 20 What is Korsakoffs syndrome caused by? Vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency, alcohol reduces conversion of thiamine into its active form 6 of 20 What structures does Korsakoffs syndrome affect? Mamillary bodies and prefrontal cortex 7 of 20 Are verbal and visual learning (with concious recollection) impaired in amnesia? True 8 of 20 What makes minimal demands on STM? Stroop task 9 of 20 Which would be an episodic memory? Remembering a list of words someone asked you to remember AND thinking about an event you went to 10 of 20 Which is a semantic memory? Remembering that Paris is capital of France 11 of 20 What type of memory does paired-associate learning tap? Verbal learning 12 of 20 Would patient HM succeed in a paired-associate learning task? No 13 of 20 What type of memory does rey figure copy tap? Visual learning 14 of 20 Would patient HM succeed at the rey figure copy task? No 15 of 20 What memory does lexical priming tap? Implicit (non-concious) memory 16 of 20 What memory does mirror drawing tap? Motor learning 17 of 20 What is the MAIN conclusion of studies investigating impairments from hippocampal damage? Hippocampus is crucial for the concious retrieval of an experience or episode (mental time travel) 18 of 20 Memory is? Associative 19 of 20 Does retrieval reinstate activity in the same cortical areas as encoding when links are strong? Yes 20 of 20
